How do I get my Learner's Permit???
For the issuance of a Tennessee Learner Permit:
· Must be at least 15 years of age
· Pass a standard vision screening.
· Pass the Class D knowledge exam. Practice exams are
available online.
· If you are under the age of 18, you will also need to have:
* A parent or legal guardian (with proof of guardianship) present to sign a minor/teenage affidavit and financial responsibility
form.
* Show
proof of school attendance/progress from a current Tennessee school or a letter from the school in your previous state that confirms your attendance and satisfactory progress during enrollment in that school. This letter must be signed and dated by the principal or guidance counselor no more than 30 days prior to your Tennessee application.
·
Provide all required documentation.
Proof of School Attendance
Applicants under the age of 18 must prove they are enrolled in school and making satisfactory progress. If they have already graduated, they must bring their high school diploma or G.E.D. certificate with them when they apply. If not, they need to ask their school to complete a Certificate of Compulsory School Attendance and take the original part of this form with them to a driver license station. The form is valid for only 30 days.
If a student fifteen years of age or older drops out of school or fails to make satisfactory academic progress, the school is required to notify the Department of Safety. This suspends the student's driving privileges. The first time a student drops out, he or she may regain the privilege to drive by returning to school and making satisfactory academic progress. There is no second chance, however. The second time a student drops out he or she must wait to turn 18 years old before being eligible to apply.
